microphone and skype

[Errol Sapir]

A report back on my problem
Thanks to all who tried to help. I still cannot get the microphone to 
work. It is a standalone microphone, not one connected to a webcam, 
which I don't use or have connected to the computer. Maybe that will put 
somebody on the right track.
